    So called real people are a spiritual metaphor.

    In deep meditation and out of the body experience, it is hard to separate what is real from that which is a self generated illusion!

    I see no way to actually separate the two views on this subject and the answer is more then likely- yes!

    It would only be mans vanity that says the powers of the universe would only put one life form in such an expanse.

    But it also needs to be taken into consideration that to those of ancient Yoga the Inca empire would have seemed like another planet.

    Now having had my body in one place and my spirit in another- I happen to know how difficult it is to separate out the nature of the dual realities. So while I wish I had a definitive answer- I don't. I know that the spiritual beings are just as real as our temporal body. If I could say for sure that there is not life on other planets, I could be sure of an answer. But due to the nature of the Universe and the power behind it- I can not say.

    It is proved that there are other planets and there is life just like earth. The universe is so large and stars glaxies which is cannot be explained in a few words. Our earth , Moon, Sun, and other stars are examples to prove that these planets are pre fixed and regulated the movements around sun by a gravitational pull. Hence if the yoga scriptures say that there aother planets, they are right to say this.
